Hmmm... well... if its not there on the server to delete I don't know where it would be to delete. Maybe it's a local problem on the users machine? Try this:

Suspected that... However, we are unable to delete the users' profile since that particular user profile doesn't exist under the "Profile" tab under "System Properties" on that server. Any ideas on how to get rid of the corrupt profile?

Thanks for the help John John.

Any info or a link to any info would be greatly appretiated!

Thanks in advance,

Corrupt user profile. When the user logs on to the machine the system authenticates the user name and password but the user profile is corrupt so Windows allows the authenticated user to log on and creates a new user profile for the user from the Default User settings, to replace the corrupt profile, and renames them as you see.

Under C:\Documents and Settings you will of course find user profiles under folders in the following format:
C:\Documents and Settings\username - local login.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\domain_name - domain login.

We have a user that has 999 folders under their profile. In other words, their profile folders look like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\username - local login.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\domain_name - domain login.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\domain_name\001
C:\Documents and Settings\username\domain_name\002
C:\Documents and Settings\username\domain_name\003
C:\Documents and Settings\username\domain_name\etc.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\domain_name\999

Any ideas why? A link to any info would be greatly appretiated!
